For challenge #3 I just need:

Terrorblade (1 loss)
Windrunner (1 loss)
Tiny (3 losses)
Tinker (Saving for last)

I'm just thankful I've been performing well in the Tiny losses or I'd be way more discouraged. The hero's very fun and even when playing support Tiny (fuck you Kunkka) I felt I could stretch the impact of Avalanche and Toss for way longer than they should last normally. I keep playing him as a midgame playmaker because he's just SO good at it but never hit that "stupid good tower killer" phase where you just whack the shit out of everything and demolish it in three seconds flat. He'll get done, I just don't know when.

Fuck you WR. Like, I guess out of all of the heroes I played for this challenge, there are worse ones I could have gotten twice (technically 3 times) but idk. Sick of playing her from the first challenge.

TB we will work at. I hate playing farm-reliant carries without a stack. Crocker put in work against the duo lane but when your morph/phoenix loses lane to viper/timber wtf. Just hesitant to do this in pubs given a lack of certainty that I'll get the support I need, and I don't want to take him into VHS/HS.

Tinker I want to do something different with, just don't know yet. Still want him mid and no I won't do some stupid Abyssal build or whatever but I want that win to be unique. Idk what to do for that yet.

If you have damage from other heroes, the perma-BKB piercing stun from Abyssal Tinker would be amazing. Dare to change the meta.

Yeah, I finished all three. I think there should be more ways to earn Compendium points or at least make the time for the next challenge be shorter. 4(?) days sounds long.
Oh, wow, I didn't realize you'd already done it three times. My bad.

Just wanna let this out. I really really REALLY love Glimpse.

It's so game-breaking, a pseudo-counter for Storm Spirit, and that cast range is so amazing. I want to play this hero more often.

Yup Disruptor is legit. He's one of those heroes I seem to always skill differently every game, since every skill is powerful at level 1 and you can make a case to max each. Currently I think I do some QWWEWREEEWRQQQ spec but every game is different. Sometimes extra Q damage is needed, sometimes I'll go for the L4 Glimpse right away, whatever. Glimpse is downright broken and Disruptor is one of the best heroes in the game at punishing mistakes as a result of that. He's versatile to a huge degree and the only thing I think he glaringly lacks is damage which is not a big deal for what he brings to the table. Probably the hero I was most looking forward to in set 2. You feel so... in control with him.

I like Slardar but he's not the best Support and he's not the best carry. A Slardar/Tusk lane is deadly though.

Tinker
yeah it's fate

That's not a bad last set, it's got a few outliers but whose list never had some? Tinker I'm sure you're sick of and Invoker is probably the intimidating one of the bunch but he still is capable of ruining teams just with EMP, let alone when Tornado and Cold Snap get added to the mix. Maybe I just like the hero but if you spend a bit of time on invokergame.com to build muscle memory for remembering combinations, the hero isn't really capable of unleashing 10 spells at once until very late in the game anyways, so you're more than fine keeping WWW/WWQ locked in as your bread and butter for early/midgame. Knowing the combinations and when to use each one basically defines a great Invoker player but I certainly am not a great Invoker and I can still get the job done. Given that Invoke only has that 2 second fluid cooldown with Aghs at around level 18 or so (and nobody should be rushing Aghs on him), it's unreasonable to think you HAVE to be Mozart out there on the keyboard 24/7. Pick the two instances you'll max and rely on the skills that you're leveling up. Same as any other hero.

I think it's a good list just as far as getting you out of your comfort zone which is why we do the challenge anyways. I'd like to see you do that set without rerolls but we all have those heroes we'd just like to put behind us (fuckin Pugna) so eh.

Who else is still on their challenges btw? I know crocker finished all of them but idk about the others. Fuckin work schedule man.

I'll end up trying Tinker again but yeah, Invoker is the one I'm most worried about. I've played him once and that was in Ultimate Bravery so it meant literally nothing lol. Odds are good I'll end up going the right-click route.

I'm on my third hero challenge.

I don't really enjoy playing any of the heroes I have left. I'll give some of them a few tries, but I may reroll earlier than usual. None of them should be too bad, though.

I'm still on the second one. All I have left is Tinker/CK but I fucking hate Tinker so much because every time I play him I just end up pushing out lanes to stall for 20+ minutes, and FUCK CHAOS KNIGHT. I'm gearing up for Rift max/roaming OoV offlane CK because this is not working.
